TYRONE senior ladies manager Kevin McCrystal has taken the decision to step down ahead of next month’s Division Two relegation play-off against Clare.
The Carrickmore native has informed We Are Tyrone that the players wish to go down ‘different path’ after an indifferent start to their season.
McCrystal, who was in his second year in charge, has had a long association with the ladies scene in the county.
He managed the team during the noughties, and in more recent times has been involved with development squads in Tyrone.
In a statement, he said: “The players have decided they want to go down a different path and I have informed the executive of my decision to step aside.
“I’ve been involved with the senior ladies and development squads over the last five years and I would like to put on the record my thanks to Tyrone LGFA chairperson Donna McCrory and secretary Rita Hannigan.”
